I cannot believe all the pain they have to suffer through or contain within so that the rest of the people won't feel hurt or bad from all of the memories. If I was like the person in charge of everything in that place I wouldn't let only one person contain all of the memories within so they wouldn't feel to bad. But everyone would have for at least a good one and a bad one so no one would feel bad or left out. If they wanted to they could trade memories with other people around them so they can have different experience.
